If there is no way to come about any real drugs but the urge is still so strong what can you shoot just to go through the motions that will mimick well anything just to get your brain to think ya did something. Besides saline cause ya don't even feel that.
 
ughh i shoot water sometimes but it's dumb cause veins don't grow on trees and there's no awesome non psychoactive drug that you can shoot to get a placebo high
 
Trust me find a support group for this habit. There are much safer, healthier and better things to do than poke a hole in yourself for a minor rush of endorphin from pain and the memory. Try finding a form of exercise that works well. Yoga may be nice.
 
I really already have to give myself daily injections due to my illness so the needles aren't taboo. I just wish there was something that could replace that. Thanks for any input.
 
If your diabetic you could get the insulin pump instead of injecting yourself all the time, if that's what you mean.

As far as injecting your self for a rush the only thing that works is a drug with euphoric effects as far as I know.

The best thing is to just stop trying all together. Each time you or someone sticks them selves, they are just inviting germs into their body. Some germs don't show any negitive effects till months or years later like heart valve disease or hepatitis C.

The urge must be strong. Just fight it. Anytime is a good time to stop.
 
some times when i dont wana get high but i need to poke myself i use bacterial static water. its ment for injection but wont give u a rush or a high....

This pretty much sums it up. To the OP, believe me friend, if there was something you could inject which would give you a rush and a sense of euphoria that wasn't a drug...well first of all it wouldn't be a drug, be secondly, none of us IV users would be bothering with cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine etc... IV use is really hard to break. The best replacement that resembles the effects of intravenous injections the most, and uses almost the same preperation, is rectal administration.
 
I love preping a shot. Sometimes my friends even let me do theres because they know I know the most about HR.

I also LOVEEEE shooting people up. Idk why.
 
I opened my first needle pack today, tossed the needle tip, then plugged 2 x 75mg Lyrica caps after popping a few orally and sublingually. I also insufflated 1mL of lyrica solution with the syringe before I stuck it up my bum.

I can see how plugging/injecting/snorting can be extremely addictive, there are so many aspects of the ritual (prepping the shot, mixing it, pushing the plunger, etc.), that it's so hard to forget it completely when you get clean.

Good thing the only drug I've insufflated and/or plugged Lyrica, there's really no rush with lyrica so that's a good thing.

My first opiate experience was 4mg of IV morphine in the hospital for extreme pain at 20 years old, but since I was in so much pain, I didn't even feel a high or a rush whatsoever. When my brother broke his elbow, though, he had one morphine shot for the pain (first IV experience), then he asked for another one and I could tell the second one was too much for the amount of pain and he was pinned and nodding.
 
That is funny to me. Shooting up water? I had an uncle who died, and in his hospital bed he was pretending to smoke a cigarette.
 
honestly try going for a run or lift weights. when i run out of drugs before i go into withdrawal i try to get a good workout in. you wouldnt believe the endorphins my body releases. i take a pre workout (1mr) its essentially just a shit ton of caffiene but with that to give me energy for a good workout, i swear i feel high as shit by the end of my workout
 
Thanks for the in-put guys and gals and just wanted to say when someone says I'm not afraid of needles I have to give myself shots everyday they automatically say well diabetes, but I don't have diabetes I have multiple sclerosis (not a pitty party speach) buts i think the whole world puts it together this way. It's like ohh you you don't abuse drugs but you have needles laying around automatically diabetes your controling your sugar. And I wish they did make pumps for my medicIne cause I have to shoot mine in some bad spots. Thank you really.
 
Ohh and please when your renewing your drivers license and you get done updating your paper work weight age that sort, at the very bottom of the pAper it says would you like to donate a dollar for research please check yes it's for ms and cancer research and it doesn't add a dollar they take it out of the amount your Allready paying.. Please and Thankyou again
 
Damn it really helps me to understand that you have MS and I send you wishes for a good life even with that condition. I am hoping you have tried cannabis to help with MS symptoms? I do not know how yours presents or how severely, but I have seen on video the drastic change that someone who had MS and severe full body tremors literally take a puff and instantly be able to sit still. I can understand you may not be able to access medical cannabis thanks to our countries law and the progression of the movement to dispel cannabis myths that view it to be a drug worse than opium and heroin and reveal cannabis true medical value.

Again I wish for the best for you! I hope you have a lot of support to do what you need to do as I could not imagine how hard it would be to inject yourself correctly, never the less be a functioning member of society in our difficult world even with all of our technological advances. No technological advancement will ever be able to replace the support of another living being that stands by your side..
 
Ive shot dope ony thre times now and did not fall in love with it or anything, it just seems to be the best bang for the buck. BUt ive snorted still in between those three times. But if im getting a gram . 2 shot will have me nice for a while, but of i dont have a needle i cant see me feinding for the needle, i just want to enjoy a buzz, either way.
 
I have some empathy, as I know many people do get addicted to the act of injection, and you can get a temporary placebo effect from injecting water. Of course it's not the same as injecting an opioid (or whatever drug you are used to), but when your brain is conditioned to associate injection with pleasure, people can and do experience some relief just from injecting water. I have to admit, back when I was using heroin I have done this once or twice in dopesick desperation, however it was unsatisfying as it only gave a very mild and transient placebo effect, and I felt pathetic and ashamed afterwards. I do not recommend it. As someone said "veins don't go on trees", and it's better to try to decrease your addiction to the needle than reinforce it. I would recommend doing something healthier to distract yourself from the cravings.
